​Jr. Associate Professor Sajid Nisar’s research proposal has been selected for a collaborative international research program under the Interstellar Initiative 2019–20, jointly organized by the Japan Agency for Medical Research and Development and the New York Academy of Sciences (USA).

​A team headed by Jr. Associate Professor Sajid Nisar, now a faculty member at the Kyoto University of Advanced Science, took part in the Student Innovation Challenge (Mobility) at the 2019 IEEE International World Haptics Conference from 9–12 July, 2019, in Tokyo, Japan. The ‘driving assistant’ developed by Prof. Nisar’s team was selected for the ‘Best Student Innovation Challenge Award’.

​Shigeru Horii, a Professor at the Nagamori Institute of Actuators specializing in materials science, has received the Best Presentation Award from the Cryogenics and Superconductivity Society of Japan (CSSJ).

​Sajid Nisar, Junior Associate Professor of Robotics at the Nagamori Institute of Actuators, has received the 2019 Young Award. Professor Nisar received the award on May 20 at the International Conference on Robotics and Automation (ICRA) held in Montreal, Canada.

​In our ongoing series showcasing some of the fascinating research our professors are working on, we move now to the field of control engineering. Looking at two applications, one being swarm robotics and the other electric motors, we will introduce some of the work by our esteemed faculty, Dr. Fukushima and Dr. Kucuk.

To show some of the exciting ways engineering in general, and our esteemed faculty specifically, contribute to our society, we sat down with Dr. Kazuo Oki, a specialist in measurement and recently researching drone measurement, as well as Dr. Liang Zilu, who is researching the exciting field of wearables.

This is what Dr. Osamu Tabata, Dean of the Kyoto University of Advanced Science’s (KUAS) Engineering Department, talks about his vision for the innovative department, stressing the importance of a practical, solution-oriented mindset together with playful creativity.

The Kyoto University of Advanced Science’s (KUAS) innovative engineering program took a major step towards becoming reality last December, when the entire faculty met for the first time at the university’s Uzumasa Campus in West Kyoto.
